TECHNICAL TIP
The Preparation of Adhesive Coated Grids for Picking Up Carbon Film to Make Carbon Coated Grids The following steps should be followed in the preparation of adhesive coated grids:
1. Submerge about 2" of Scotch clear tape (3M) into 10ml of Dichloroethane (Ethylene Dichloride); shake and discard the tape.
2. The solution now becomes “grid-glue” 3. Place the grids (dull side up) on a piece of filter paper (dust-free room).
